Pickled

For all the hype this was given it was dillest (dullest) televised charity event ever. Comic Relief has had fundraising events for years and usually has lots of comedy along for the ride and gets us laughing and pulling our our wallets to contribute. This was a switch with a funny athletic event involved, but there was very dry humor. Almost nothing was actually funny. The host Stephen Colbert was awful as were the rest of the cast. In addition to the lack of comedy that was expected there was a level of vulgarity that was unexpected. At one point John Michael Higgens called Emma Watson the Queen of Dink and Stephen Colbert asked Will Ferrel if he circle jerked.

How did this thing get broadcast? I couldn't finish it! Mr. Colbert would be wise to stick with what he does best - his late night talk show. I miss it when it is not on but when he tries an alternative platform of comedy it usually falls flat. It's the same for that cartoon thing (which I cannot recall at this moment). No laughs, and cast of mostly completely unknowns in show business! Who is John Michael Higgins? Never heard nor seen him before. And who is Kelly Rowland! Mystery people. I hope the charity made some cash. And I've never heard of it either. Am I in a bubble? I think not ...
